Photo Of The Day By Joshua Moore

Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Sunset From Woolyback” by Joshua Moore. Location: Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina.

“Over the past year, my family has taken more evening drives than I can remember,” says Moore. “We would go out along the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP) to catch a sunset and enjoy the views. Usually, we were always alone. We could pull out some chairs or sit in the car and watch.

“My wife and I were out on an afternoon drive when we came to the Woolyback Overlook after leaving the Smokies to cruise home along the BRP. The sun was starting to set, and the cloud shelf had an opening in it (I could see through past the ridgeline). We decided to stay and see if the light would break through, and not to our surprise; we were greeted with a lovely golden glow that filled Maggie Valley.”
